TurboII7 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, this would sure make it a lot more appealing as a sports car. http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=39&article_id=1935 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GSRchick714 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I want one 0-60 in 5.5, supercharged 6spd? Sounds good to me! smile.gif ...those wheels are huge on that car though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrelyNutsDSP Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I will believe it when I see it for sale...and then when I make its owners cry about the money they spent for no torque. FC and FD > RX8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 The MazdaSpeed suspension package has already been public for a while, and there were rumors the MS-RX8 would be S/C'd. I like it, but as someone aleady said, I'm not looking forward to the price. Although all other MazdaSpeed models haven't been too far off of a fully optioned model.

CRed05 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 165lb of torque = crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboII7 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 It's still not as good as the 7 but it is a good step in the right direction with 275 HP 200lb ft. Plus it would be a lot easier to make it quick with a supercharger already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Supercharging is the wave of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX-7 Addict Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Claiming better lap times than a Porch and a 350Z, with one of the best tires on the market and a 52/48 weight balance, means it's still pretty damn slow by today's standards. Anyone who claims their car is faster than a 350Z is really desperate for accolates. Those cars are SLOW. Look at the March05 road and track. Dead last in lap times. Got beat by a Z4 3.0 and an SLK350. Those 350z's are pigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 ... the rx-8 ='s lame my fc has more torque then that thing does and i haven't even done much to it outside of exhaust work. I just am not all that impressed with the 8, give me an FD any day of the week. It's sexier, it's faster, just an overall better car in my humble opinion. T.c.
